RE: JAWS under 64-bit Windows

Hi there,
That's because these x97 processors essentially use 64-bit extension to their 32-bit instructions. This is called Long Mode where 64bit srograms, as well as 32-bit programs can run, although a bit slower. There is Legacy Mode where the processor will act like a traditional 32-bit CPU. What exactly do you have - Windows XP Pro x64 Edition or a 32-bit Windows XP? 
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi, yes, we do have 2 computers using the 64 
bit Athlon processor and JAWS

works just fine.
Until VISTA will support the 64 bit 
architecture and JAWS will also use it I

am not going to move up (down) to VISTA.
Perhaps in about a year?

Hi Sean,
No, not at this point. There is a Freedom 
Scientific bullcctin that deals

with it.  The answer is:
JAWS does not support 64-bit Windows (even
Vista) under 64-bit processors (see below for 
exceptions).
* You can in fact install 32-bit version of 
Windows on a x64 processor such

as AMD Athlon
64 or Intel Core II Duo.
Windows Vista DVD's are produced in both 
32-bit and 64-bit versions.  Retail
version of Ultimate has both DVD's, but other 
versions only come with 32-bit

DVD.
Cheers,
Joseph

hi,
yes, jaws8.0.423 can run in vista but you

need to set your windows to clasic

window, means you can't really use "AERO"

with Jaws

8.0.423, maybe up coming release of jaws can

support "AERO" in Vista.

Allan Wong

Hi



As it happens, I had to have my system

reformatted last month, so I am now

back
to running windows media player 10.  There

are supported jaws scripts for this

version built into jfw V 8.0.

On another list, there were enough folks

having difficulty with WMP11 that I

decided to stay with 10 for a while.  HTH

Hi,



I'm seeking info regarding using Media

Player with JAWS 8.0.  If you have

encountered any problems, I'd be grateful if

you would share the experience.

Thanks in advance for any help you might

provide.
